By the time he sensed the danger, he could do nothing about Zhang Hao.”

“Zhang Hao’s patience is commendable.

I absolutely couldn’t bear such humiliation.” Lin Weiguo sighed.

He was the kind of person who couldn’t bring himself to bow his head, a trait which got him kicked out of the army.

“If you can’t bear it, then die.

You guys are just lucky to have a leader like Tang Zheng.

What do you think would’ve been your fate if we hadn’t had a break in the last round?” Yin Shangwu looked at these fools who still didn’t understand their situation with a mocking smile.

Everyone was stunned and fell silent, obviously thinking of unpleasant outcomes.

“Let me tell you, regardless of whether Lin Weiguo bows his head or not, he would have been beaten up first, then thrown out as a meat shield and bait.

If he still didn’t get it and tried to resist, they would either kill him themselves or abandon you altogether.

As for the rest of the flight attendants, after entering the game, you would have been passed around by the male Conquerors.

The beautiful women would’ve been divided among them, the others would have been given to new players to gain their favor.” Yin Shangwu spoke calmly of these cruel facts, scaring the two flight attendants and causing Lin Weiguo to frown repeatedly.

Only Tang Zheng remained calm.

“Looking at Tang Zheng’s personality and strength, he’s the only one who could’ve climbed up from being bait to be our teammate.

Of course, the process would be tough and risky.” Yin Shangwu looked at Tang Zheng and teased, “If it were the previous round, you’d have it easier since there was a female Conqueror who was into men like you.”

“Want to resist?

Sure, the one leading the resistance will be brutally tortured, then have their limbs severed and be hung up for all to see.” Yin Shangwu looked at Pang Meiqin, who shuddered involuntarily.

“You’re lying.” Pang Meiqin screamed, seemingly to vent her panic.

“Hehe, the previous three waves of newbies were all treated like this.

I’m just stating the facts.” Yin Shangwu smirked, looking at Pang Meiqin and Tang Zheng, “Sometimes, dying early can be a relief.

There was a woman who served forty-one men.

She thought she would survive, but at the very last moment of the fourth round, she was still discarded as bait.

The moment she was eaten by a Monster, she was still pleading with her teammates who didn’t even look back at her.

What a helpless fool.”

These words sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Pang Meiqin, Li Xinlan, and Lin Weiguo looked at each other, then at Tang Zheng, feeling unimaginably relieved.

“You should indeed be thankful to Tang Zheng.

Without him protecting you guys in the room, you wouldn’t have a chance to stand here and talk to me.

By the way, even if you had tried to please Zhang Hao and made it to this point, you’d still have to kneel to talk to me because even they don’t dare to raise their voice around me.” Yin Shangwu said these words with an air of arrogance and confidence.

Although the two women were defiant, they didn’t dare to make a scene, as they knew Yin Shangwu was indeed powerful.

“Enough, do you find it that interesting to scare us?” Tang Zheng saw through her.

This woman seemed to indulge in her wicked sense of humor whenever she was idle.

“Haven’t you thought about saving those newbies?

Or at least not letting them live so miserably?” Li Xinlan frowned, finding it hard to accept all this, “If they’re a burden, you can just abandon them.

Why the need for such cruelty?”

“Why should we?

We’re not their parents.

This is a survival world where a single mistake could cost your life.”

With a few simple words, Li Xinlan was silenced.

“You guys have been living too comfortably under Tang Zheng’s protection.

You haven’t even realized the most basic knowledge about this space.

This is a place without law or morality.

It’s survival of the fittest.

Those with no value can only be abandoned, but before they’re discarded, they’re used as bait to squeeze out their remaining value.” Yin Shangwu sighed.

Once upon a time, there were kind people among the Conquerors who tried to save and help the newbies.

But what did they get in return?

Betrayal, abandonment.

Death brings out the true nature of people.

Over time, the Conquerors realized that unless the newbies could climb up by their own strength, they would always be seen as disposable dishrags.

“Zhang Hao managed to survive the first round as a newbie because you helped him out, didn’t you?” Tang Zheng suddenly interjected.

Judging from Zhang Hao’s personality, even if Huang Ya were stupid, he’d surely kill Zhang Hao off to prevent him from gaining the upper hand.

“No.” Yin Shangwu denied, but cursed Tang Zheng for being a freak in her heart.

How did he manage to guess even this?

“Hehe.” Tang Zheng laughed and didn’t inquire further because he already knew the answer.

The ‘Black Long Straight’ lady was slightly taken aback when she heard his words, although the reaction was very subtle, it was enough to clarify matters.

“It would be too boring not to add some difficulties to the games for the toys.” Yin Shangwu muttered and went back to the original question, “Zhang Hao only stole the Totem Seal from Yellow Teeth, but didn’t kill him because he was wary of his abilities.

But he ended up dying in your hands instead.

Also, in this kind of survival challenge game without time limit, the earlier you return, the more points you get.”

“By the way, Tang Zheng, we have also killed several players and obtained three Totem Seals, how about you?” Pang Meiqin looked at Tang Zheng with bright eyes, showing great concern.

She hadn’t obtained a Totem Seal yet, even the young girl Zhang Yan was holding her breath, waiting for the answer.

“So-so.” Tang Zheng deliberately showed a disappointed expression, shrugging his shoulders.

“Oh.” Pang Meiqin sighed in disappointment, pouted, and then glanced at Zhang Yan, wondering if tossing away her share would be enough for herself, “It seems I need to secretly ask Tang Zheng.

But how should I bring it up?

Should I say that Zhang Yan is an outsider after all and should be left in the 22nd century?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be enough.” Zhang Yan wanted to say they should go back first without worrying about her, but couldn’t muster the courage in the end.

She suddenly felt selfish and burst into tears, “I’m sorry.”

“Ha, why are you apologizing?” Tang Zheng patted Zhang Yan’s head, teasing her.

“I, I…” Zhang Yan mumbled for a bit but closed her mouth immediately when she saw Pang Meiqin looking at her stealthily.

“All right, I fooled you guys.

I have enough Totem Seals.” Tang Zheng laughed triumphantly, “Zhang Yan, you can even take a few more back to exchange for bonuses.”

“Tang Zheng, I knew you were the best.” Pang Meiqin leapt onto Tang Zheng and kissed him.

“You guys really are mysterious, not from my world.” Zhang Yan muttered, but she wasn’t happy at all, wearing a desolate expression.

She had already noticed something wrong.

Not to mention the accent and information they inadvertently divulged, their mobile phones that were at least a hundred years behind were a clear giveaway.

Once, when Tang Zheng was sleeping, Zhang Yan secretly peeked at his phone.

The information on it was enough to prove her suspicions.

“What’s wrong?” Now that they had confirmed they had enough Totem Seals, Pang Meiqin didn’t mind showing a little generosity and friendliness.

Zhang Yan just shook her head and didn’t answer her.

“It’s noon.

Are we still going after the supply box?” Lin Weiguo pointed to the sky where ten transport planes were roaring past, air dropping parachute packages.

“What’s the point?

Aren’t you tired of boxed meals yet?

The main thing is to teleport back to the room as soon as possible.

Tang Zheng, you should be in the same city as me, right?

I’ll treat you to Western food.” Pang Meiqin took Tang Zheng’s arm and invited him assertively.

After hearing Yin Shangwu’s words, she was even more determined to stick to Tang Zheng.

Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan said nothing, just counting the supply boxes in the sky, waiting for Tang Zheng’s decision.

Yin Shangwu, on the other hand, was smiling at the corner of his mouth and was watching him with interest.
